- * Add a special note telling glibc's dynamic linker a fake hardware
- * flavor that it will use to choose the search path for libraries in the
- * same way it uses real hardware capabilities like "mmx".
- * We supply "nosegneg" as the fake capability, to indicate that we
- * do not like negative offsets in instructions using segment overrides,
- * since we implement those inefficiently. This makes it possible to
- * install libraries optimized to avoid those access patterns in someplace
- * like /lib/i686/tls/nosegneg. Note that an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/file
- * corresponding to the bits here is needed to make ldconfig work right.
- * It should contain:
- * hwcap 1 nosegneg
- * to match the mapping of bit to name that we give here.
- *
- * At runtime, the fake hardware feature will be considered to be present
- * if its bit is set in the mask word. So, we start with the mask 0, and
- * at boot time we set VDSO_NOTE_NONEGSEG_BIT if running under Xen.
